I knew if I let them think things over and take their time in making these gears, then they might need a week or so to get what I wanted.
But when I recalled the time difference between the second Earth world and any other world I was in, I couldn't help but heave a deep sigh.
"I truly missed such a thing!" I muttered while feeling like I was a grandpa who was about to see his long missed and beloved grandsons and daughters.
As I thought about my second Earth world, I couldn't help but think about everything I got prepared out there.
I worked for a long time to turn that world into a formidable military base. There were tons of races there, with many forces of different origins. Hell I even got monsters under the lead of that playful dude, little Qi!
I got lots of things out there, and I prepared them for the last battle to win the apocalypse. But right now things already changed, and that assumed battle got moved up front, ending up happening in such a way that I never expected.
But that didn't mean I wasn't prepared. Hell no! I got all the things that anyone would need to win any war, no matter who the enemy was, no matter how long it took.
I sucked in a deep breath, thinking about everything under a new light. Yes, I wasn't that powerless, and this war came out of the blue, but that didn't mean I got nothing to do about it.
If the enemies thought they were well prepared, if they thought they'd take me out by surprise, then I beg to differ!
All I needed to do now was to wait for this merge to get over, and then start receiving intel about how the new world looked like.
"The merge will happen on different stages, and that means I don't have to wait for it to get over before moving out… Unless my luck is bad, and this zone ends up being the last one to join the merge…"
I knew this was a very low possibility. There were many worlds getting to merge here, more than one hundred worlds including the worlds here.
That meant the chance of my ground zero zone to be the last to join the merge was less than one in the hundredth. And that made me resume my work again, defuse all the bombs my forces brought over here.
It took me roughly half a day to finish doing this. And after doing this, I got to find time at last to test things out.
"I have to find a way to find these bombs fast," I muttered, while looking at the bombs around.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
As I decided that, I started to dig the ground using my glaive. I wanted to leave a few bombs scattered under the ground, and try to find them using my mirror world.
In my mirror world, these bombs started to show few changes for the first time ever. And that meant something there must have resonated or triggered something at these bombs.
I hoped these bombs would show a change when I got into my mirror world. If so, then finding these bombs wouldn't be an impossible issue like before.
It took me roughly five hours to dig twenty different spots, leaving the bombs there at different depths, with the deepest one out there reaching to a few thousand metres.
Then I buried these holes and left the bombs down there. I didn't need to dig them out, as they were already inactivated for the time being.
"I can ask Lily later to dig these places and take the bombs out," I muttered when I considered the possibility of reactivating these bombs at some point.
I already deactivated these bombs, and so anyone could store them inside their inventory if they wanted to.
So there was no risk in leaving such a task over to my capable people.
"Time to see if this will work or not," I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, before finally starting my dance, entering into my mirror world.
And their things looked quite the same.
"I shouldn't go and look for them personally," I knew I could just move around, let my mirror world cover the region these bombs were.
Inside my mirror world, the physical presence of anything was gone. And that allowed me to move freely even in the depths of any ground, at any depths I wanted.
But that also meant I had to look personally and search manually for these bombs. I didn't want that. I needed something to help me find these bombs without the need to take too long to do so.
So I ignored such a way, leaving it as my last resort, one that I didn't want to end up using after all. I looked around, and no matter how I looked, I couldn't find anything.
The ground all around kept fading away slowly before recondensing again. I grew used to how the world here worked and looked like. And despite that, I couldn't see any bombs at all.
I knew where I buried these bombs, but I didn't want to go directly there. I wanted to see if I could do something, instigate anything at these bombs, ending up getting them shining or releasing something like a beacon for me to see.
If I managed to do that, then I could see the place of any bomb no matter how far it was from me, no matter where it got buried at, no matter how deep it lay under the ground.
I started to think deeply about things here. The bombs got to show a change the moment I took them inside this world… Why?
Why did they act in this way? The first answer that popped in my mind was related to the nature of this world.
